Wicklow Harbor

Beach–Sight

Updated 04/29/2014

Fodor's Review

The town's most appealing area is Wicklow Harbor. Take Harbour Road down to the pier; a bridge across the River Vartry leads to a second, smaller pier at the northern end of the harbor. From this end, follow the shingle beach, which stretches for 5 km (3 miles); behind the beach is the broad lough, a lagoon noted for its wildfowl.
